On Wednesday, nineteen opposition parties, including the Congress, Left, and TMC, collectively declared their decision to boycott the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, deeming it an "undignified act" that insults the esteemed position of the president, PTI reported.

In a joint statement, they expressed that the inauguration of the Parliament building is a significant event. Despite their belief that the government poses a threat to democracy and their disapproval of the "autocratic manner" in which the new Parliament was constructed, they were willing to set aside their differences and observe this occasion.
